Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1278 Private Secretary
"I just don't know if Ling Zun wants to kill me or you after listening to it."

As soon as Gao Wushi said this, Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately said suspiciously, "Don't you mean to tell my father that we have already... already that...?"

Gao pragmatically smiled and said, "What do you think of this idea?"

Liu Xin glared at him and said, "This is your Gao Longwen's plan? The overnight meals in dog days are not so bad."

"Really? I think it's a common idea, and 'common' usually means nothing fancy, but it must mean that it has a wide range of applicability, doesn't it?"

"Where is it common?" Liu Xin said displeased, "Have you seen it before?"

"Don't you girls like to watch TV dramas that often have this type of plot? The raw rice is cooked, and then the parents have to go with the flow..." Gao Wushi said while gesturing.

Liu Xin rolled her eyes: "Who do you think anyone can use this trick? What is your identity, what is my identity, when something like this happens, are we going to go to the river together?"

Gao Wushi first laughed, then shook his head and said, "No, no, at least it's impossible for me to die because of this."

"You won't die, it doesn't matter if someone else dies, right?" Liu Xin glared at him and said, "My father is such a competitive person, but my daughter told her that she was pregnant before marriage? Before that, he had to be pissed off."

Then sighed: "Okay, okay, stop joking, can you give some constructive advice?"

"Yes." Gao pragmatically smiled: "The idea just now, as long as it is slightly changed, it can really be considered."

"Huh?" Seeing that Gao Wushi's expression didn't look like a joke this time, Liu Xin asked suspiciously, "A little change, let's hear it first."

"Look, although the method just mentioned is not feasible to apply directly, it is mainly because the side effects are too great. In fact, the essence of this method is correct." Gao pragmatically said: "What is the essence of this? The misjudgment of our relationship made him mistakenly believe that the level of intimacy between us is already high and it is impossible to break up."

Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, then frowned, "Then how can we make him have this kind of misunderstanding without making him too angry?"

"If you also agree that this method is essentially feasible, then we only need to consider the heat issue." Gao Wushi paused, pursed his lips, and said, "But before that, I must explain that no matter how the heat is controlled, , It will definitely have an impact on your reputation, in other words... After doing this, it will be more difficult for you to get married again."

Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, and quickly waved her hand: "It's fine if it only affects my marriage. I'm just worried about whether it will affect the reputation of the Liu family too much."

Gao pragmatically said: "There will always be a little bit, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "Then tell me."

Gao pragmatically said: "The way is, I will hire you as my personal staff, and you will stay in my house from now on. I will return to Jinggongfang in Zhaohui every day, and you will stay in Jinggongfang in Zhaohui; I will return to Baiyulou. , you stay in the Baiyu Building."

"Aide?" Liu Xin thought for a moment, then frowned, "Is this the equivalent of a secretary?"

Gao pragmatically nodded and said: "As for officials above my level, it can be said that almost [-]% of them have staff in their houses. In my impression, the senior officials who do not have staff are generally those who are known for being poor and honest. Take Hai Rui, for example, and my third uncle, my teacher, and others.

I haven't recruited staff so far, but it's actually because I have something in my heart, and I'm always worried about when I'll leak out.However, it doesn't matter if you are. "

"Are you even worried about this?" Liu Xin said somewhat unexpectedly, "Then there are so many maids by your side..."

Gao Wushi spread his hands: "You don't really think I'm from modern society, so I won't 'indiscriminately kill innocents' in this society? My maids, including the maids left by Zhi Ting, they themselves Or the life and death of the whole family are under my control. Even if I say something missing, they definitely 'did not hear'. In addition, Gao Mo is left, but Gao Mo's only son is also in Jinghua, And then again, I really can't think of anyone who can buy Gao Mo."

Liu Xin thought about it too. Even the emperor couldn't offer a better deal than Gao pragmatic to buy Gao Mo. After all, Gao Mo was just a loyal servant. Can the emperor still give him a high official in empty words?Do you really think that when civilian politics prevails, an emperor like Zhu Yijun, who still talks about his face, can do whatever he wants?
Even the emperor Zhengde, who was the most "reckless", never saw him reckless with civil affairs and politics. He was just fooling around himself, or at most pampered the eunuchs and military officials around him.Zhu Yijun wanted to buy Gao Mo, unless Gao Mo was appointed as the supervisor of li, which would be too outrageous. Given Gao Mo's current status in Jinghua, he would definitely not be happy.

Liu Xin nodded and stopped talking about it, but after thinking about it, she hesitated: "If you do this, I'm not afraid of the rumors, but this way, will it be good for your reputation? influences?"

Gao pragmatically smiled indifferently, and said, "There will be a little bit, but it's not a big problem, and it's controllable."

"Can this kind of thing be 'controllable'? How?" Liu Xin asked in surprise.

Gao pragmatically said: "Please cooperate with Zhi Ting, this matter will be 'controllable'."

"Huang Dutong?" Liu Xin was even more surprised: "How do you want her to cooperate?"

Gao pragmatically said: "This matter should be like this in the end: you are a guest general hired by her first, and you have gained her trust in a series of wars in the southern border. So, she recommended you to me, acting as me 's military staff, and acted as a 'confidential secretary' for the liaison between me and her."

Liu Xin heard the song and knew the elegance, and immediately said: "Do you want to use the name of Mrs. Zun to suppress the rumors?"

Gao pragmatic nodded slightly.

Liu Xin thought about it and said, "It is feasible, but it is feasible. After all, Huang Dutong herself is a woman. It is more appropriate for her to recommend another woman than a man. However, will you make her unhappy?"

Gao Wushi hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. Judging from her consistent performance, no matter what status you stay by my side, she doesn't seem to be unhappy because of it. In fact... I also said just now. However, she even kept persuading me to take a concubine.

As for why I still say I'm not sure, it's because I always feel that her actions may not come out of her heart. Perhaps it was the invisible social pressure that forced her to make such a 'never jealous' behavior.

Of course, it is also possible, as you said, that the women of this era have been 'poisoned' themselves, and they may think in their hearts that doing so is right, a great virtue, and a virtue, so they are very willing to do it.For this issue, I lack in-depth research, maybe you can refer to it in the future when you have nothing to do. "

Liu Xin listened very seriously at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help rolling her eyes: "I don't have time like this."

Then after a pause, he asked again: "Doing this will make my father stop urging me to marry?"

Gao pragmatically said: "Imagine, when Ling Zun got the news that you were staying by my side as a personal assistant, what would he think of this? I mean, would he really think that you were just staying by my side to make plans or something? ?"

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "That's definitely not the case. How could my daughter's family go outside to be someone's assistant? I was just staying in my eldest brother's army. In order not to stay at home to 'to be married', I really used all the coquettishness and cuteness at the time." She said, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Gao Wushi smiled, then thought about it again, and said, "It's better this way. When you see you doing this, you will first understand that you don't want to marry. Secondly, I think in his opinion, you stay with me. Better than coming up with some other bad idea."

Liu Xin knows the meaning of Gao Wushi's words, which basically means that Liu Xian will "take the lesser of two evils", and Gao Wushi is a "rich and handsome" anyway. No matter how you look at it in the future, it is a proper future for the patriarch, and he is better than him. Be nice to others.

In fact, Liu Xin's understanding is not comprehensive, but it doesn't matter at this moment. All in all, it is to block Liu Xian's mouth. As for what Liu Xian thinks, Gao pragmatic does not really care about it.

However, Liu Xin soon had another doubt, looked at Gao Wushi suspiciously, and said, "You help me like this..."

"Are you afraid that I have ulterior motives, or are you afraid that I will ask for something in return?" Gao Wushi laughed: "I help you because I can only feel...well, a kind of relaxation, I believe you can understand it when I talk to you."

Liu Xin really smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, me too."

Then she sighed again: "Speaking of which, it still makes sense for you to return to the Ming Dynasty, but I am different. I really don't know what's the use of me here."

Gao pragmatically said: "You can think about it, and maybe you can find some things to achieve... transcendence value to do."

"Transportation value? Ha, you are very good at creating vocabulary." Liu Xin shook her head with a wry smile: "I thought about it when I was a child, but it didn't make much sense. Actually, you know, I even thought about doing business earlier, that is It's like this Jinghua you made. Unfortunately, I am different from you. Although I am favored at home, I have no independent economic rights. Just like other girls in this era, I can at most have a little money, enough to buy some Rouge gouache or something."

Gao pragmatically asked, "Then have you told your father or your elder brother about this... um, ideal?"

"I mentioned it, but they don't agree at all." Liu Xin shook her head and said, "In fact, they also have a lot of gray income, but this money is basically used to pour into the family, and there is very little extra money. Keep it. This situation will only improve slightly after you distribute that Yunnan Baiyao—this is it—to the Liu family’s dividend.”

"Oh?" Gao pragmatically didn't know the circumstances behind this, and asked, "What is this money for?"

"Pharmacy." Liu Xin said: "My father and my eldest brother bought some stores in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places to operate the medicinal material business. Because of their relationship with you, they later cooperated with Jinghua Trading Company after Jinghua entered the southwest, and also participated in some medicinal materials. Maybe it’s because what I said back then was somewhat helpful, or maybe they didn’t like these complicated chores, and I was mainly responsible for managing these transactions later.”

Gao Wushi suddenly said: "No wonder you dared to recruit thousands of soldiers last time. When I saw the report, I was very curious, thinking about how your family suddenly became rich, and it was able to expand so much at once. To tell you the truth, At the time, I thought it was Liu Wei who was scratching too hard in Yunnan, and even sent someone to understand the local people's conditions, so that no one would take care of him if he caused an accident."

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Thank you very much." Then she paused for a while, and then said, "But you know, after doing these things, I found out that I don't have much talent for doing business. Therefore, it can operate smoothly, in fact, it is only because there are people behind it.

Behind me are my father and my eldest brother. They still have some foundations in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and behind them is you, so no one dares to move. You may not even know that your name is so much in place. Works. "

Gao Wushi said in surprise: "Really? Sichuan and Yunnan are not provinces where our school of faction is strong. My name is very useful?"

"Of course it works." Liu Xin said: "The imperial eunuch guarding Sichuan is the godson of Huang Mengyu, and the eunuch guarding Yunnan is the godson of Chen Ju. The two of them are in the southwest of the sky and the emperor is far away, not to mention the commander's face. Even Futai sometimes has to be careful.

And when the two of them heard that my brother and sister have been friends with you for more than ten years, I occasionally even lived in your Baiyulou courtyard when I came to the capital. The attitude of the two of them was really... tsk tsk, I wish I could call my eldest brother. Dear uncle, it's better to call me my aunt, but do you think your name doesn't matter? "

Gao Wushi said with a wry smile: "It seems that I'm really a bit of a high-ranking official now, and a bunch of eunuchs are obedient to me."

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "It's not just eunuchs, there are actually quite a few people from Beibang Jinshi who went to Sichuan and Yunnan to become officials, and recently—I mean, since Liu Shizeng turned to you, Sichuan and Yunnan are now treating us Liu and Yunnan. The attitude of the family is better."

Gao pragmatic suddenly realized.Liu Shizeng was the governor of Yunnan, and he did a great job in the previous Pingmen, and Liu Shizeng himself was a member of Chen Yubi's line. As the son of Chen Yiqin, Chen Yubi's influence in his hometown of Sichuan is obviously not bad, which is similar to the Gao family. Almost in Henan.

When the two were added together, the Shi School's face in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces suddenly expanded a lot, and even Liu Wei, who was directly affiliated with the Shi School School, followed suit. As for the Liu family's pharmacy, it was even more convenient.

However, when talking about Southwest and Business, Gao Wushi suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Xin, "By the way, you are here at the right time. Although Jinghua has a big business, it has been very tight recently, so it is necessary to quickly find something new. Resources...Is there any other mines that are easy to mine in the southern border? Preferable metal mines are the best, I need an emergency."

Liu Xin smiled and said: "Oh, my secretary to the chairman is officially taking office now?"
